    Yep without doubt he has certainly added to our striker goal per game average.

    I’d take a point. Under other circumstances I would want three.

    I think you need to give him a chance here....

    Yeah it's barmy that people are moaning about him already... I like the look of the guy, links up well, strong, fairly good on the floor. Can't really think of a clear chance he's had yet either?

    He's only played a couple of matches ffs!

    I think we should be absolutely going for three, and it’s the type of game we should be targetting on current form. But with the current state of club, top to bottom, I’d take back a point right now.

    As seems to be forever the case at the moment with you... agreed.

    So very worrying.

    More so than the club ;)

    Spot on. I was critical of him before he signed but there's no way I'm judging him on 3 or so bloody games.
    He may not have hit the ground running but he's showed signs of potential.

    For what we need and in this formation (if we insist on it, which we clearly do) he’s much better than what we have. That much is obvious already.

    Agreed. I would like to see him and Gabbi get a run of a few games together because I think it could work but then the formation would need an overhaul, which as you say is something that Pellegrino seems reluctant to try.

    For sure and he could come in handy tomorrow against Burnley defenders whereas Gabbi and Long wouldn't be.

    I don't really think he's ever going to be prolific for us, but I like what I see so far and can see see him grabbing a couple of vital goals before the season is out.

    Who said I wasn’t. I was just stating a fact that if you tot up the goals scored by our strikers the average isn’t very good

    I'm going for a tight 1-0, with a set piece special from JWP.
